Classic Stromboli Recipe (Easy Dinner or Quick Appetizer!)

Stromboli is basically pizza that’s been rolled up like a cinnamon roll. The classic ingredients include mozzarella, ham, and salami. I threw in some pepperoni and pepper jack cheese just for fun. It’s so good dipped in marinara! Perfect quick dinner (that kids love) or appetizer for football-watching.

Raise your hand if you’ve had stromboli?? It’s so good. It’s basically pizza that’s rolled up like a cinnamon roll. Minus cinnamon and sugar, plus pepperoni, cheese and marinara sauce. You bake it as a long roll and slice it after it’s baked. My kids loved it. It makes a great quick dinner or would be an awesome appetizer for football watching this fall. If you make it for a meal it would serve about 4 (with a couple sides, I’m thinking broccoli and a big salad) or if you make it as an appetizer then it will serves 6-8, depending on how hungry your guests are.

Ingredients:

1 10-12 ounce pizza dough*

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

1/2 cup** mozzarella, shredded (I like to shred fresh mozz.)

12 thin slices ham

4 ounces Pepper Jack cheese, sliced

15-17 salami slices

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

15 slices pepperoni

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

1/4 cup parsley, chopped fine

1 egg, beaten

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheee

cracked black pepper, to taste

more chopped parsley, to garnish

marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Lightly flour a work surface or a square of parchment paper. Roll your pizza dough into a rectangle about 12 by 14 inches. I prefer to roll out my pizza dough on parchment paper, because you can just put the paper straight into the oven without trying to transfer it.
